How to Create an ImmiAccount: Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Visit the Official ImmiAccount Website
Go to the Australian Department of Home Affairs website.
Important: Always ensure you're on the official government website to avoid scams. The URL should start with: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au
Creating an ImmiAccount is essential for applying for Australian visas, citizenship, or accessing immigration services online.
Step 2: Click on “Create ImmiAccount”
On the login page, you’ll see the “Create ImmiAccount” button. Click on it to begin your registration.
Visit: https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login
Enter your valid email address to receive a verification code.
Once you receive the code, enter it and click “NEXT” to proceed.
Step 3: Select Your Account Type and Enter New User Details
You will be prompted to choose between:
- Individual – for personal visa applications
- Organisation – for companies or registered migration agents
Enter the following New User Details:
- First and last name
- Contact number
Tip: Ensure these match your identity documents for a smoother visa application process.
Step 4: Account Details
Login Details:
Create a Username and Password
Choose a secure username and password. Typical password requirements include:
- At least 14 characters
- A mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
- Numbers and special characters
Set Security Questions
Select and answer security questions. These will be used if you ever need to recover your account.
Review and Accept Terms
Read the terms and conditions carefully.
Tick the checkbox to accept them and continue.
Step 5: Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Before your account is fully created, you must set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access and cyberattacks.
Tip: Ensure your email and mobile number are accessible during this step.
Steps to Enable MFA:
- Download the Microsoft Authenticator App
Available on Google Play (Android) or App Store (iOS) - Scan the Generated QR Code
Open the app and scan the QR code shown on the ImmiAccount setup screen - Enter the 6-Digit Authentication Code
The app will display a 6-digit code. Enter it into the ImmiAccount page to verify.
This ensures your account remains secure and accessible only by you. Keep your mobile device safe and handy for future logins.
Step 6: Log in – ImmiAccount Has Been Created Successfully
You’ve now successfully created your ImmiAccount.
Go to https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login to log in using your new credentials.
You can now:
- Apply for or manage visa applications
